Rob Van Dam on dives: “The other guys are just standing there waiting to catch them and that’s a big problem with me”

During an interview with Sportskeeda.com, Rob Van Dam commented on wrestlers diving through the ropes…

“I don’t see how it means anything anymore. It’s just like an obligated pop from the crowd now. That’s what it seems like to me, like, everybody does it. I don’t want to do it anymore. I faked it on my match on Saturday like I was gonna run out, then I just stopped and gave a couple of these thumbs to the boys on the floor. It doesn’t even make sense. I feel like the chop is even more overused than the dive.

When they do it [dive through the ropes], it’s just become so obvious that the other guys are just standing there waiting to catch them and that’s a big problem with me. That’s so not the way that I ever got trained.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
